Hihorodo hao - lesson 3

A series of pibroch lessons dedicated to the memory of David Hester (1962-2019). Barnaby Brown introduces Jimmy Carnegie to "Hihorodo hao" (PS 191). With a spirit of adventure, he draws out what is unusual about John MacGregor's setting of 1820, addressing whatever gets in the way of bringing this music to life.

In this lesson, Barnaby introduces the 3rd Quarter of the Ùrlar and explains how piping 'cadences' relate to French Baroque music. The drone is provided by the TE Tuner app, playing two sustained Tenor Sax sounds on B♭: one at Octave 1 (for the bass drone), another at Octave 2 (for the tenors).
David Hester fought fearlessly against status quo bias, causing discomfort to instil positive change in a musical environment that rewards conformity. Rather than grumble about a culture that was in the habit of killing off curiosity and imagination, he established the Alt Pibroch Club (www.altpibroch...).
